Bonfire Night.

November 6th, 2008

Remember, remember the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder and treason,
Should ever be forgot.

Well, it’s that time of year again when the sun sets by 3.30, the cold nips your nose and ears and everyone whips out those bonfires and sets off those fireworks. Yes, it would be Guy Fawkes, and my is it louder than ever this year. The fireworks have only just died down at midnight since they started at about 5. They’re so loud they make your chest feel hollow and they illuminate your entire room. It’s always an adrenalin-filling moment when you seen those lights and here the delayed bangs as you stand in the light of one mega huge bonfire and hold hot chocolate to keep yourself warm.

We’re off to celebrations on Saturday which’ll be nice. They always have fireworks syncronizhed to music which makes the entire ground shake and your ears come away ringing as you hold all your scarves to you to stop the frost creeping in!

This was just a short update for now. We’ll have more to share come the weekend. And is it just us, or are those Google ads on our page just obsessed with weight-loss?

Anyway, cheerio for now! Stay warm!

A Late Halloween!

November 1st, 2008

I got these little terrors from Goobeesta. They’re seriously awesome and really worth doing to add a bit of fun-spook to your room! They’ve been sitting around for weeks now, but I decided to put up their photo today. They’re really cool little paper toys.

We went to see Quantum of Solace which was a really great film. It would’ve been very confusing if I’d not have seen Casino Royale about 2 days before as they refer a lot of the new film back to that storyline. Lots of explosions and fighting, but the part that’ll always stick clear in my mind was the granny at the beginning who had her cherries dropped and she started to curse in Italian. All that just to remember a grandma! Nah, I remember a lot more, and gosh was it cool. [:

Lookie here! It’s an Unfinity Design pumpkin! Definitely a great design on Nathan’s behalf. After being cleared out by trick-or-treaters, we curled up on the sofa before retiring to bed, but not before eating M&M’s and drinking way too muchJ2O!

Anyway, that’s all for now! [:
